Google construct first-ever coding doodle for Kids

Like most special days, Google Doodle picked up a exceptional theme to celebrate 50 years of children’s programming language. On the golden jubilee of children learning to code, Google introduced its first-ever coding doodle by ‘Coding for Carrots’. As a part of the Computer Science Education Week, this never-seen-before doodle teaches how to code with the help of a downy friend. In this interactive doodle, users can program by helping the white rabbit across six levels in a quest to gather its favorite food ‘carrot’ by snapping together coding blocks based on the Scratch programming language for kids.

In the 1960’s, kids programming on computers sounded unviable when Logo, first coding language designed for kids, was first formed. When working on the programming language, a little green turtle moved around and drew lines on a black screen.

“Long before personal computers, Seymour Papert and researchers at MIT developed Logo, which helped children to program the movements of a turtle, giving them the opportunity to explore ideas in math and science,” shared Champika Fernando, Director of Communications, Scratch Team.
